So I'm curious to get some of your thoughts on this subject.

I've currently built my organization with pitching coaches throughout the minor leagues focused on Power Pitching, as that is what I usually draft and target in trades. It's worked out fairly well for me in my development thus far.

My question is, at the ML level, when these guys at pitching at the highest stage and fairly far along in their development, does it make sense to hire a finesse pitching coach for the ML level? Try and bring out better control in my power pitchers? Two very basic schools of thought obviously, 1. Play to your strengths, you should have a Power Pitching Coach or 2. Work on your players weaknesses by bringing in a coach that isn't focused on power.

What do you guys think?
